Everton marked the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster on Wednesday by unveiling a permanent tribute at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium to the 97 football fans who died following the 1989 tragedy.
The fans, many of whom were young, were crushed in a crowded, fenced-in area at the ground in Sheffield, northern England, during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. It was one of the worst stadium disasters in the world.
The memorial features two young mascots holding hands – a girl wearing an Everton shirt with the number nine and a boy in Liverpool red with the number seven – symbolizing the unity that transcends the clubs’ historic Merseyside rivalry.
“Everton today welcomed representatives of the Hillsborough families and friends of Liverpool Football Club to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to pay their respects to the 97,” Everton said in a statement.
Liverpool greats Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush paid floral tributes on behalf of the club at the unveiling.
Everton hosts Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
